Banning Smoking at Home!

A women has been banned from smoking in her own garden because her neighbour has complained that the smoke is ruining his quality of life.

This is crazy...She's outdoors, it's her house so why should she not be allowed to light up. The neighbour is being pedantic and I think using the rules just get back at his neighbour. Sure he might get some smoke blowing over, but he'll just have to live with it, thats what being neighbours means. When my neighbour wants to cut his lawn late in the evening I don't try to get the courts to stop him because the noise pollution is damaging my quality of life. Of course peole will say that the passive smoke is damaging his health, but come on...any effect must be negligable.
